I don’t think you need to do that. He will learn by watching you play with the complete set of pieces, and now there is a lot less to observe. People learn by their mistakes, even young people.
Maybe, maybe not. He needs to learn how to capture pieces, attack the king, identify vulnerabilities, and deliver checkmate. Also, how to develop his pieces, push the pawns, protect the king, not lose his queen and so on.

This particular game ended with abandonment, my kid was with a king + rook, and I was with a king. He couldn’t checkmate me with just the rook.

I’m not that much into chess, and to me this seems off — the white have twin queens and are all at their starting positions?

We have to balance out the difference in skill level somehow, so my kid starts with an extra queen and I start without some pieces.

I think it’s really a good way to teach your children how to play.

Yeah, I read the same. Rather than playing silly moves, give the kids more pieces.
